Dee Compound Syrup by Devendra Ayurved Ashram

200 mL: ₹140

Dee Compound is an Ayurvedic women's tonic built on Ashoka bark and the classical Panchavalkala — the astringent barks of banyan, cluster fig, sacred fig and Plaksha — with Punarnava, Triphala, Lodhra, Giloy, Ashwagandha and more, as an ark (distillate).

The pack says it relieves physical weakness and women's complaints; the booklet lists white and red discharge, uterine weakness and irregular periods. It can be taken with Lukonil tablets or capsules, as the booklet suggests.

Used for

  • Women's tonic — physical weakness
  • White discharge (Shweta pradara) — traditional use
  • Irregular periods — traditional use

Why monthly cycles can wear you down

Heavy or frequent periods, recurring discharge and the low iron that heavy bleeding brings can leave you weak, tired and achy in the back and lower belly. Hormonal shifts, infections and pelvic congestion are common causes.

Ayurveda calls white discharge Shweta pradara and heavy bleeding Rakta pradara, arising when Kapha, Pitta and Vata disturb the uterus and Rakta. The classical response uses cooling, astringent barks (Kashaya rasa) to tone the uterus and check discharges, with Rasayanas to rebuild strength.

Dee Compound works in 3 ways

  • Astringent Barks (Panchavalkala, Stambhana) — Ashoka and the fig barks — banyan, cluster fig and sacred fig — are rich in tannins and anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in experimental studies; Ayurveda uses them for discharges and bleeding.
  • Uterine Tonic (Garbhashaya-balya) — Ashoka, Lodhra and Nagkeshar are Ayurveda's classic herbs for uterine weakness and heavy periods; modern clinical evidence is still limited.
  • Strength & Fluid Balance (Rasayana, Shothahara) — Ashwagandha and Giloy are Rasayanas — ashwagandha eased stress in meta-analyses of trials — and Punarnava, the largest herb here, is diuretic and anti-inflammatory.

Key ingredients

  • Ashoka (Saraca asoca, stem bark) — 667 mg. Ayurveda's best-known herb for women — its name means 'without sorrow'. The bark is rich in catechins and other tannins and is traditionally used for heavy or painful periods and uterine weakness; modern clinical research on it is still limited.
  • Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa, whole plant) — 267 mg. Its name means 'renews the body'. Ayurveda uses it for swelling (Shotha), the kidneys and the liver; its rotenoids and flavonoids are diuretic, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective in experimental studies.
  • Vat (Banyan) (Ficus bengalensis, stem bark) — 133 mg. Banyan bark, one of the Panchavalkala, is cooling and astringent in Ayurveda, used for discharges, bleeding and Prameha. Reviews describe antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and wound-healing activity in experimental studies.
  • Gular (Udumbara) (Ficus glomerata, fruit) — 133 mg. Cluster-fig bark, one of the Panchavalkala, used in Ayurveda for discharges, bleeding and Prameha. It is antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antidiarrhoeal and antioxidant in experimental studies, with a few small clinical studies.
  • Ashvattha (Sacred fig) (Ficus religiosa, bark) — 133 mg. Sacred-fig bark, one of the Panchavalkala. Ayurveda uses it for discharges, bleeding and wounds; extracts are anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and wound-healing in experimental studies.
  • Pakhar (Plaksha) (Ficus lacor, stem bark) — 133 mg. One of the five classical astringent barks (Panchavalkala) Ayurveda uses for discharges and wounds. Its extracts were anti-inflammatory in an animal arthritis model; research is limited.
  • Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa, stem bark) — 67 mg. A bark Ayurveda uses for heavy periods, leucorrhoea, loose stools and the skin. Its tannins, flavonoids and loturine alkaloids are astringent, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in experimental studies.
  • Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera, root) — 67 mg. Ayurveda's best-known Balya-Rasayana. In randomised trials ashwagandha root extract lowered perceived stress and cortisol and improved sleep and muscle strength; its withanolides are the main active constituents.
  • Giloy (Guduchi) (Tinospora cordifolia, stem) — 67 mg. A Rasayana for chronic fever and immunity. Its polysaccharides, alkaloids and diterpenoids are immunomodulatory, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies. Rare liver injury has been reported, possibly from mis-identified Tinospora species.
  • Nagkesar (Mesua ferrea, stamen) — 33 mg. Fragrant stamens Ayurveda uses for bleeding piles and heavy periods (Raktastambhana). They are rich in coumarins and xanthones; laboratory studies report antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, and a subacute rat study of the flower extract found no toxicity.
